Engaged in the electoral tone a few weeks before the Simultaneous and Compulsory Open Primaries (PASO), the candidate for deputy for Juntos, María Eugenia Vidal, pointed to the national government and questioned the power of President Alberto Fernández:
"I have no doubts that Cristina is the one that governs "
.
After the phrase outlined by Vice President Cristina Kirchner where she warns the president to put order "where it is necessary to put order" in the context of the scandal over the photos and videos of Fabiola Yañez's birthday celebration at Quinta de Olivos, Vidal considered that there have been
"many signs that she is the one who decides and the one who leads
.
"
Along these lines, he exemplified: "Cristina can interrupt the president in the middle of a speech, take out the microphone, tell him that he has officials who do not work. She is the one who is giving orders,
the vice president is the one who makes the decisions
and does not not surprising at all. "
Vidal later supported, in dialogue with
CNN Radio
, the position of his party colleagues Mario Negri and Cristian Ritondo, who pushed for the impeachment of the president "for poor performance and possible crimes in the exercise of their functions."
"I would support the request for impeachment of the president if it is approved in Congress, although I think
it will not prosper because the ruling party is going to block it,
" Vidal said.
And he analyzed: "The political trial would not have been necessary if two things had happened: that he had
asked for forgiveness
and that he had been
presented to justice
for violation of quarantine. If that had happened, he would have believed that the political trial did not correspond."
Continuing with his criticism of the ruling party, Vidal said that in the campaign tours of the Buenos Aires neighborhoods the neighbors told him that they do not know
"what is the direction"
that the management of Alberto Fernández proposes and remarked: "We hear generalities such as' We are going to recover the life we want 'but they
do not tell us which way is,
that is the main claim of the people:
that there is a future
for us and our children who in many cases want to leave ".
In defense of the government of former President Mauricio Macri, the former governor affirmed that "we Argentines are much worse than two years ago" and that this government "is getting into debt at a faster level than Macri."
Defense to Carrió
After the scandal over the celebration of Fabiola Yañez at Quinta de Olivos, the government tried to target Elisa Carrió's birthday celebration last December.
Vidal was one of the leaders of the opposition who
came out to defend 'Lilita'
and pointed out that the two events were not comparable.
"
Carrió's birthday
is not comparable
with the celebration in Olivos.
Kirchnerism,
whenever it is
at fault
and cannot explain what it does, wants to show that we are all the same, and we are not all the same," said Vidal this Saturday and reinforced:
"Lilita was not violating current regulations."
The former Buenos Aires governor explained that
"This celebration took place in a municipality that was in phase 4, where outdoor events were authorized," and that even "Lilita's team consulted with the municipality that they confirmed that it was authorized."
And he completed: "
Lilita's birthday was public
and the photos came out the next day in various media. I did not go that day because I could not but I know that this event was carried out in compliance with the protocols."
